There are two words that may have caught you off guard as you scrolled through Twitter's top trends on Monday: Big Chicken.

And then you clicked.

There it was, stepping out of its coop, the absolute largest chicken you've ever seen in your life. Some people described the animal as "horrifying" and "nightmarish," while others became enamored by it and even went as far as wanting one for a pet.

But no matter the emotion that consumed you, everyone had so many questions...

Well, we've learned the bird didn't come from a McDonald's experiment, seeking a new way to make more chicken nuggets (we all know that's not real meat anyway). Rather, this bird is an actual species, and if you continue watching the video you'll see a second feathered friend of almost the same stature pop out of the coop, too.

The breed of chicken is known as "Brahma." They were developed in the United States, but were originally imported from China back in the 1840s.

Though they were the principal meat breed in the U.S. for almost a hundred years, that ended around 1930. The people who own these chickens now probably mostly keep them as pets, and who's willing to admit they have a massive chicken for a pet?

twitter is now the website to talk about the big chicken and not politics. everyone has to pretend to know a lot about the big chicken only

As monstrous as it looks, the chicken only weighs an average of about 18 pounds. If you're a 3-year-old toddler, then perhaps you could give it a shot, but these gentle giants are mostly good for laying eggs (and/or causing nightmares, depending on the person).
